finalizing $3.5 million line of credit
East Oregonian
For the final seven years
of the urban renewal district,
the Pendleton Development
Commission could have a
$3.5 million line of credit
to use toward urban renewal
projects.
The commission will
consider accepting the credit
line from Banner Bank at a
meeting Tuesday.
The commission has
typically taken out large
loans and paid them back
with the revenue from the
urban renewal district. As
the district heads toward its
end in 2023, the commission
views borrowing money as
it needs it as a more fiscally
responsible method.
Charles Denight, the
associate director of the
commission, explained how
financing would work in a
report to the commission.
“Repayment can take
place any time without
penalty, which will effec-
tively allow the PDC to
operate nearly on a cash
basis,” he wrote. “Currently
the PDC has a cash reserve
of over $1.1 million. When
added to the approximately
$800,000 in projected
annual tax receipts, this
means that the PDC can
regularly repay any funds it
withdraws from the credit
line, minimizing interest
expense for the financing.”
After the commission
meeting, its members will
meet as the Pendleton City
Council, where they will
consider taking action on
several issues relating to the
recently passed $10 million
fire station bond.
The council will consider
a $701,891 contract with
the Mackenzie engineering
firm of Portland to provide
architectural designs and
engineering services for
the fire department’s new
primary station at Southeast
Court Avenue.
Rather than waiting for
the design process to end
before soliciting bids to
construct the station, Fire
Chief Mike Ciraulo will
also request that the council
allow the city to begin
looking for a contractor
during the design process,
an alternative method he
believes will save the city
money in the long run.
In addition to the fire
station, the bond also
pays for new emergency
equipment. The council
will consider approving
the purchase of three heart
monitors from Zoll Corp.
for $103,714 and a “Jaws of
Life” extraction equipment
from L.N. Curtis & sons for
$27,530.
The council could also
take action on several
other items on the agenda,
including:
• Staff will ask the council
to keep it’s checkbook open
to pay Anderson Perry &
Associates up to $503,000
to collect data on the city’s
street
and
stormwater
systems. The data will be
used to help develop a street
management plan and a
commercial and commercial
and industrial stormwater
utility fee.
• After a delay at the
last meeting, the council
is scheduled to discuss an
ordinance regulating mobile
food vendors. The ordinance
requires vendors to obtain
city business licenses and
provides general parameters
where they can and can’t
locate.
• The council will also
consider transferring a prop-
erty it owns at 1103 S.E.
Court Place to Domestic
Violence Services. The
city bought the property in
1991 to lease to Domestic
Violence Services, but given
the future maintenance
needs of the property and
the nonprofits expanded
ability to apply for grants if
its the property owner, city
staff is open to offloading
the property.
• Toward the end of
a loaded agenda, Steve
Chrisman, airport manager
and economic development
director, will ask the council
to approve a $77,516 for the
Pendleton Unmanned Aerial
Systems Range mission
control room. The funds will
come from a state grant used
to build a new hangar at the
airport.
The commission meeting
will be held at 6 p.m. and the
council meeting at 7 p.m.
Both meetings will be held
inside council chambers at
city hall, 500 S.W. Dorion
Ave.

From July 26 through Aug. 2, the Whitman Mission
National Historic Site will showcase a traditional
southern Columbia Plateau long tent.
Whitman Mission to
showcase tribal long tent
East Oregonian
For a limited time, the
Whitman Mission National
Historic Site will be show-
casing a traditional Long Tent
used by tribes of the southern
Columbia Plateau for large
gatherings and ceremonial
activities.
The tent will be on display
from July 26 through Aug.
2. The last time this style of
tribal architecture was used
in the Walla Walla Basin
was, conceivably, sometime
during the 1860s when the
last remaining Cayuse people
were forcibly removed from
the area and placed on the
Umatilla Indian Reservation.
“It’s rare to see this type
of Long Tent structure set
up outside the reservation
setting,” said Wes Jones,
Cayuse tribal elder and
member of the Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Indian
Reservation. “I hope this
exhibit will provide an oppor-
tunity for the public to learn
about the history of the Walla
Walla Basin and the tribes
associated with this area.”
Jones will be supervising
all phases of the tent’s plan-
ning and construction, which
will include 125 teepee poles
and eight full-size canvasses.
The tent will measure 65 feet
long, 18 feet high and 25 feet
wide.

National Historic Site is
located seven miles west of
Walla Walla off Highway 12.

Fire burns dry grass land, barn
HERMISTON — A brush fire started by a lawn mower
burned about 30 acres and a small barn Sunday in Hermiston.
The fire started late Sunday morning between West
Highland and Orchard avenues in an open field.
According to a press release from the Umatilla County Fire
District, the fire was sparked by a mower hitting something,
and the operator was unable to control the fire in the high grass
because of high winds.
Flames were as high as 15 feet when firefighters arrived and
the wind was blowing 10 mph, rapidly moving the fire.
Firefighters from Echo, Umatilla and Boardman responded
to help fight the fire, and Cascade Natural Gas, Umatilla
Electric and local police agencies were also on scene.
There was one wreck caused by a driver distracted by
the fire. Traffic was closed on both Highland and Orchard
for a time.
Firefighters had the blaze under control by mid-afternoon.
